Bug Tracking Integration: How do I see the Bug # in Vault?

[vonwyss]

We have enabled the bug tracking integration (dragnet mode) and it works fine: when checkin in, we can select a bug to link to the checkin and the checkin then appears in the case.

However, I cannot seem to find the information (case number) in the vault history. It would be really great to be able to see the bug# in the history.

By default, Vault puts the item number in the comment of the checkin, which will then appear in the comments in history. However, if you delete the comments before the actual checkin, it won't appear in the bug.

I'm not sure I get your answer: I am using the IDE client and have "comments required" active on the repository.

So I enter a bug ID in the "advanced" dialog (or select one using browse, does not matter) and then also enter a comment in the comment field (the vs.net default one in the checkins pane) and commit.

Where exactly does the bug id appear?

Ah, you are using the IDE client. It currently doesn't auto-fill the item comment when you select a bug (like the GUI client does), but this is due in Vault 3.1.3, which should be out early next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience...
